Meet new Sonar: A Blazing Fast Model Optimized

Starting today, all Perplexity Pro users will be able to try out the latest version of Sonar, Perplexity's in-house model that is optimized for answer quality and user experience. Built on top of Llama 3.3 70B, Sonar has been further trained to enhance answer factuality and readability for Perplexity’s default search mode.

Through comprehensive online A/B testing, we have found that Sonar significantly outperforms models in its class, like GPT-4o mini and Claude 3.5 Haiku, while closely matching or exceeding the performance of frontier models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet for user satisfaction. Powered by Cerebras inference infrastructure, Sonar runs at a blazing fast speed of 1200 tokens per second — enabling nearly instant answer generation.

Perplexity Users Prefer Sonar

We conducted extensive online A/B testing of Sonar to measure user satisfaction — a key metric that is strongly correlated with product usage and retention. This metric captures how satisfied and engaged users are when asking questions on Perplexity.

Our evaluations show that Sonar surpasses both GPT-4o mini and Claude 3.5 Haiku by a substantial margin. We also compared Sonar against more expensive frontier models and found that it outperforms Claude 3.5 Sonnet, while closely approaching the performance of GPT-4o at a fraction of the price and more than 10x the speed.

Reference Fields

To add Pagination, select your Collection List, click on Pagination, select one of the two options, then pick how many items to load. Pagination also works with existing Limits and Start Offsets. Both the Spinner and Button are completely customizable, and you can pick any Variant for their Loading states. The Spinner itself is just a layer with a conic gradient and a Loop Effect, so you get full control. Adding Pagination helps make your blogs and changelogs much faster to load, especially when they contain dozens of items.

Filtering

We've added the ability to filter your collection lists in the CMS. This allows you to keep your content in a single collection, yet customize how that collection is presented on each of your web pages. For example, if you're creating docs for your app, you might want to filter articles per topic on your homepage. Or when creating a blog, you might want to filter your blog posts per category.
